Quarto in VS Code doesn't seem to respect IntelliSense settings

[jpmvferreira]

Description

I've configured VS Code IntelliSense in settings.json to show only when triggered by a keyboard shortcut:

"editor.quickSuggestions": {
        "other": false,
        "comments": false,
        "strings": false
    },

This works in every single file I've tested so far, except when I'm in a code block in a .qmd document or in _quarto.yml, where suggestions show automatically without any trigger on my end.
This leads me to believe that, for some reason, Quarto is not respecting this setting.

System:

• Linux legion 5.10.233-1-MANJARO x86_64
• VS Code 1.96.4
• Quarto 1.7.6

I'm not sure the "quarto" VSCode extension is handling at all intellisense for code cells, this is likely deferred to third party extensions (Jupyter, R, etc.)

For R code, you could change the language from "quarto" to "rmd" (Rmarkdown) and see if it behaves as you expect.

Anyhow, the repository for the VSCode extension is https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto.

I also considered that, but if I have a standard Jupyter notebook or a Python script then I don't have that issue.
As for the repository, I've decided to make it here because there is only a place for issues in quarto-dev/quarto, and I wanted to avoid submitting an issue before making sure it wasn't something on my end.

Could you describe the steps to reproduce? You only implied that it's IntelliSense for Python code.
Maybe share a screencast in addition to the depiction of the steps.

Yes, here you go.

Description: Writing in a .qmd file in a block written in Julia triggers the auto-complete (not intended) and in a Jupyter notebook it does not. Also happens in .yml files that are interpreted by Quarto.

Thank you.

May I suggest you to go to the VSCode extension repository to open an issue (I didn't see one related, but please do double check first).
You can summarise and link this thread there.
